    第三部分：阅读理解(共211小题，每小题2分，满分40分)

    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题

    卡上将该项涂黑。 

A

Money spent on advertising is money spent as well as any I knew of .It serves directly to  assist a rapid distribution of goods at reasonable price，thereby establishing a firm home market and so making it possible to provide for export at competitive prices drawing attention to new ideas it helps enormously to raise standards of living .By helping to increase demand it ensures an increased need for labor , and is therefore an effective way to fight unemployment .It lowers the costs of many services：without advertisements your daily newspaper would cost  four times as much，the  price of your television license would need to be doubled ,and travel by bus or tube would cost 20 percent more．

    And perhaps most important of all，advertising provides a guarantee of reasonable value in the produces and services you buy. Apart from the fact that twenty seven acts of Parliament govern  the terms of advertising，no regular advertiser dare promote a product that fails to live up to the  promise of his advertisements，He  might fool  some people for a little while through  misleading advertising．He will not do so for long ,for mercifully the public has the good sense not to buy the inferior article more than once .If you see an article consistently advertised ,it is the surest proof I know that the article does what is claimed  for it, and that it represents good  value。

    Advertising does more for the material benefit of the community than any other force I can think of.

    There is one more point I feel I ought to touch on. Recently I heard a well-known television  personality declare that he was against advertising because it persuades rather than informs．He was drawing excessively fine distinctions．Of course  advertising seeks to persuades．

 If its message were confined merely to   information ?and that in itself would be difficult if not impossible to achieve,for even a detail such as the choice of the color of a shirt is subtly  persuasive―advertising would be so boring that no one  would pay any attention．But  perhaps that is what the well-known television personality  wants．

36.By the first sentence of the passage the author means that     ．

    A．he is fairly familiar with the cost of advertising

    B. everybody knows well that advertising is money consuming

    C．advertising costs money  like everything else

    D．it is worthwhile to spend money on advertising

37．The underlined  word‘it’in the second paragraph stands  for    ．

    A. the article．      B．the advertiser．

    C．the advertisement．D．the proof．

38.The author deems that the well-known TV personality is        ．

    A. very precise in passing his judgment  on advertising

    B．interested in nothing but  the buyers’ attention

    C．correct in telling the difference between persuasion and information

    D．obviously partial in his views on advertising

39．In the anther’s option，       

    A. advertising can seldom bring  material benefit to man by providing information

  B．advertising informs people of new ideas rather than wins them over

    C．there is nothing wrong with adverting in persuading the  buyer

    D．the buyer is not interested in getting information from an advertisement

B

   One thing the tour books don’t tell you about London is that 2000 of its residents are foxes. They ran away from the city about two centuries ago after developers and pollution moved in. But now that the environment is clear, the foxes have come home.

   “ The number and variety of wild animals in urban areas is increasing,” says Comer Jones. A survey of the wildlife in New York’s Central Park last year counted 14 species of mammals. A similar survey conducted in the 1890s counted only five species.

   Several changes have brought wild animals to the cities. Foremost is that air and water quality in many cities has improved as a result of the 1970s pollution-control efforts. Meanwhile, rural areas have been built up, leaving many animals on the edges of suburbs. In addition, urban wildlife refuges(避难处)have been created. The Greater London Council last year spent ￡ 750,000 to buy land and build 10 permanent(永久的)wildlife refuges in the city. As a result, many birds are now living in the city. For peregrine falcons cities are actually safer than rural cliff dwellings(悬崖栖息地)。By 1970 the birds had died out east of the Mississippi because of the DDT had made their eggs too thin to support life. That year, scientist Tom Cade of Cornell University began raising the birds for release in cities afforded plenty of food.

   Cities can attract wild animals without turning them harmful. The trick is to create habitats where they can be self-sufficient but still be seen and appreciated. Such habitats can even be functional. In San Francisco, the local government is testing different kinds of rainwater control basins to see not only whish ones retain(保持)the cleanest water but which will attract the most birds.

40. The passage is mainly concerned with_____.

    A．wildlife returning to large cities  B．foxes returning to London

    C．wild animals living in zoos    D. a survey of wildlife in New York

41．It can be inferred from the passage that    

    A. Londoners are putting more and more wild animals into their zoos

    B．Londoners are happy to see wild animals return to their city

    C．Londoners file trying to move wild animals back to the countryside

    D．Londoners have welcomed the wild birds，but found foxes a problem

42．According to the passage, the number of species of wildlife in NewYork's Central Park      ．

    A．is slowly decreasing            B．competes favorably with other cities

    C．is on the same level as before        D．has more than doubled in the last century

43．Which of the following is NOT a reason that  wildlife returning to the cities?

    A．Food is plentiful  in the cities．

    B．Wildlife is appreciated in the cities．

    C．Wildlife  refuges have been  built in the cities．

    D．Air and water quality has improved in the  cities．

Shopping is not as simple as you may think! There are all sorts of tricks at play each time we reach out for that particular brand of product on the shelf.

Coloring, for example, varies  according to what the producers are trying to sell. Health foods are  packaged  in  greens, yellows or browns because we think of these as healthy  colors. Ice cream  packers are  often blue and expensive goods, like chocolates, are gold or silver.

     When some kind of pain killer was brought out recently, researchers found that the colors turned the customers off  because they made the product look weak and ineffective. Eventually, it came  on the market in a dark blue and white package ----blue, because we think of it as safe, And white as calm.

The  size  of a product can attract a shopper. But quite often a bottle doesn’t contain as much as It appears to.

It is believed that the better ?known companies spend, on average, 70 per cent of the total cost of the product itself on packaging!

The  most  successful producers know that it’s not enough to have a good product. The   founder of Pears soap, who  for 25 years has used pretty little girls to  promote  their  goods, came  to the  conclusion: “Any fool can make soap, but it takes a genius to sell it.”

44. Which of the following may trick a shopper into buying a product according to the text?

  A. The cost of its package          B. The price of the product

  C. The color of its package         D. The brand name of the product

45. The underlined part “the color turned the customers off” (in para.3) means the colors__.

A. attracted the customers strongly

B. had weak effects on the customers

C. tricked the customers into shopping

D. caused the customers to lose interest

46. Which of the following is the key to the success in product sales?

A. The way to promote the goods.    

B. the discovery of a genius

C. The team to produce a good producer

D. The brand name used by successful producers.

47. Which of the following could be the best title for the text?

    A. Choice of good products                B. Disadvantage of products

    C. Effect of packaging on shopping                 D. Brand names and shopping tricks

   “A good book for children should simply  be a good book in its  own right,” says  Mollie  Hunter Born and  brought up near Edinburgh, Mollie has devoted her talents to writing  primarily  for young people. She firmly believes that is always and  should  always be a wider audience for any good book whatever its main market is, In Mollie’s opinion it is necessary to make full use of language and she  enjoys telling a story, which is  what every writer should be doing. “If you aren’t telling a story, you’re  a very dead writer indeed,” she says. With the chief function of a writer being to entertain (让人愉快)，Mollie is  indeed an entertainer. “I have this great love of not  only  the meaning of language but of the  music of language,” she says. “This  love  goes back to early childhood. I’ve told  stories all my life. I had a school teacher who used to ask us what we would like to  be when we grew up and, because my family always  had dogs, and I was very good at  handing them, I said I wanted to work with dogs, and the teacher  always said ‘Nonsense, Mollie, dear, you’ll be a writer.’  So finally I thought that this woman must have something, since she was a good teacher and I decided when I was nine that I would be a writer.”

    This  childhood intention  is described in her novel, A Sound of Chariots, which although written in the third person is clearly autobiographical (自传体的) and gives a picture both of Mollie’s ambition (理想) and her struggle towards its achievement. Thoughts of her childhood inevitably(不可避免地)brought thoughts of the time when her home was still a village with buttercup meadows and  strawberry fields---sadly  now covered  with modern  houses. “I was once taken back to see  it and I felt that  somebody had lain dirty hands all over my childhood. I’ll  never go back,” she said. “Never” “When I set one of my books in Scotland,” she said, “I can recall my  romantic (浪漫的) feelings as a child playing in those fields, or watching the  village blacksmith at work. And that’s important, because children now know  so much so early that romance can’t exist for them, as it did for us.”

48. What does Mollie Hunter feel about the nature of a good book?

   A. It should not aim at a narrow audience.

   B. It should be attractive to young readers.

   C. It should be based on original ideas.

   D. It should not include too much conversation.

49. In Mollie Hunter’s opinion, which of the following is one sign of a poor writer?

   A. Being poor in life experience.              B. Being short of writing skills.

   C. The  weakness of description.            D. The absence of a story.

50. What do we learn about Mollie Hunter as a young child?

   A. She didn’t expect to become a writer.  B. She didn’t enjoy writing stories.

   C. She didn’t have any particular ambitions.

 D. She didn’t respect her teacher’s views.

51. In comparison with children of earlier years , Mollie feels that children are___.

    A．more intelligent                             B．better informed

    C．1ess eager to learn                            D．1ess interested in reality

52.What’s the writer's purpose in this text?

    A. To describe Mollie Hunter's most successful books．

    B．To share her enjoyment of Mollie Hunter’s books

    C．To introduce Mollie Hunter's work to a wider audience．

D．To provide information for Mollie Hunter’s existing readers.

    Drunken driving-sometimes called America’s socially accepted form of murder―has become a  national epidemic(流行病)．Every hour of every day about three Americans on  average are killed by drunken  drivers，adding up to an incredible 250,000 Over the past ten  years．A  drunken driver is usually  referred to as one with O.1O -blood alcohol content or roughly three beer glasses of wine or shots of whisky drunk within two hours．Heavy drinking used to be an acceptable part of the America manly image and judges were lenient in most courts ,but the drunken killing has recently caused so many well-publicized tragedies ,especially concerning young children ,that public opinion is no  longer so tolerant(忍受)．

    Twenty states have raised the legal drinking age to 21，reversing trend(逆转潮流)in the 1960s to reduce It to 18.After New Jersey lowered it to 18，the number of people killed by 18-20-year-old drivers more than doubled ,so the state recently upped it  back to 21．

    Reformers，however ,fear raising the drinking age will have little effect unless accompanied by educational programs to help young people to develop “responsible attitudes” about drinking and teach them to resist peer pressure to drink

Though new laws have led to increased arrests and tests many areas already ,to a marked drop in accidents，some states are  also punishing bars for serving customers too many drinks．A bar in Massachusetts Was fined for serving six or more double brandies to a customer  who was“obviously drunk” and later drove the road, killing a nine-year-old boy ．

    As the accidents continue to occur daily in every state , some Americans are even beginning to speak well of the 13 years national prohibition(禁令)of alcohol that began in 1919，which President Hoover called the“noble experiment”。They forgot that legal

prohibition didn't stop drinking ,but encouraged political corruption(腐败)and organized crime．As with the booming drug trade generally ,there is no easy solution．

53．What can be inferred from the fact of the traffic accidents in New Jersey?

   A．Young drivers were usually bad．

   B．The legal drinking age should be raised．

   C．Some drivers didn't surprise the legal drinking age．

   D．Drivers should not be allowed to drink．

54．The underlined word“lenient”in the first paragraph means   

   A．merciful                B．cruel            C．serious                 D. determined

55. As regards drunken driving , public opinion has changed because    

  A. judges are no longer lenient

   B． new laws are introduced in some states

   C．drivers do not appreciate their manly image

   D．the news media have raised public attention of the problem

Interview With God

I dreamed I had an interview with God. “So you would like to interview me?” God asked. “If you have the time,” I said. “My time is eternity.” God smiled, “what questions do you have in mind for me?” “What surprises you most about humankind?” God answered, “That they get bored with childhood; they rush to grow up, and then long to be children again. That they lose their health to make money... and then lose their money to restore their health. That by thinking anxiously about the future, they forget the present, such that they live in neither the present nor the future. That they live as if they will never die, and die as though they had never lived.” God’s hand took mine and we were silent for a while. And then I asked, “As a parent, what are some of life’s lessons you want your children to learn? To learn they cannot make anyone love them. All they can do is to let themselves be loved. To learn that it is not good ycy to compare themselves to others. To learn to forgive by practicing forgiveness. To learn that it only takes a few seconds to open profound wounds in those they love, and it can take many years to heal them. To learn that a rich person is not one who has the most, but is one who needs the least. To learn that there are people who love them dearly, but simply have not yet learned how to express or show their feelings. To learn that two people can look at the same thing and see it differently. To learn that it is not enough that they forgive one another, but they must also forgive themselves.” “Thank you for your time,” I said humbly. “Is there anything else you would like your children to know?” God smiled and said; “Just know that I am here always.”

51．In God’s eyes, a rich man is one who _________.

      A．lives a simple life                                B．is easy to satisfy

52．Which of the following is best supported by the text?

      A．God does exist in the world.

      B．He who loves others is sure to be loved by others.

      C．When one makes a mistake, he should try to find an excuse to forgive himself.

      D．It is easier to lose a friend than to make a friend.

53．The author wrote the passage to _________.

      A．invite people to believe in God

      B．present people’s wrong attitudes to life and give advice on how to live happily

      C．show what is important in life

      D．give God’s opinions of humankind and lessons God wants us to learn

    BEIJING, Oct.18 －World and regional leaders also congratulated China yesterday on the landing of Shenzhou VI，its second manned spaceship.

    French President Jacques Chirac sent a message of congratulations on the successful return of Shenzhou VI，becoming the first foreign head of state to praise the spaceship’s mission（使命）. Foreign media also widely covered the successful landing.

   “China affirmed（确认）its place in one of the world’s most advanced clubs with the expected conclusion of a second manned space night，” The Christian Science Monitor, a newspaper based in Boston，reported yesterday.

   “More than forty years after the US and Soviet Union had a similar achievement，China can still declare to put humans into orbit（轨道）on its own.

   ‘‘It was， as far as we know， what I’m sure they’d like to refer to as a picture-perfect mission，’’ Joan Johnson--Freese，an expert on China’s space program at the US Naval War College，said yesterday.

   “Successful flights like Shenzhou VI build unity in the whole country. The nation will unite more closely.’’ said Anthony Curtis，a professor at the University of North Carolina，who followed China’s space program yesterday.

    Beijing’s next manned mission，including a space--walk，will take off in 2007，followed by the building of an orbiting space station, which Curtis said would be practical within five years.

    Leroy Chiao，a US astronaut with Chinese blood，told China Daily yesterday that there is a possibility for the United States and China to co-operate.  After all，exploring space is not a piece of cake. It needs many top scientists to complete the high-tech mission.

    He said in a telephone interview yesterday: ‘‘I would like to see opportunities for the two countries to set about co-operation personally.’’

54．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage？   

   A．Shenzhou VI Returned Safe

   B．China and America Will Cooperate

   C．World Cheers Shenzhou VI Adventure

   D．World Cheers China’s First Manned Spaceship

55．In what field do you think the United States and China have a possibility to co-operate according to Leroy Chiao？ 

    A．In sending up Shenzhou VII.                                          B．In exploring space.

    C．In telephone interview.                                               D．In building an orbiting space station.

56．The underlined phrase “a piece of cake” mostly probably means_____

                                 A．an easy job                                       B．a hard job

    C．something good to eat                         D．something bad to eat

57．The following statements are all correct EXCEPT_______ .

      A．China is the third country to put humans into orbit on its own.

   B．The French President was the first foreign head of state to congratulate China on Shenzhou VI’s successful flight.

   C．The Christian Science Monitor is a kind of medium in America.

D．The successful flight of Shenzhou VI will rnake the world unite more close1y.

C

About 2 percent of American students are now taught at home. Educators are confused about how this growing practice should be regulated, and also wonder whether children who are not fully registered in school should get some public services. The issue shows how dim the line between public and private education can become, even when that private education is delivered at home.

     Probably about half the parents who teach at home are religiously motivated and use lessons by mail (or Internet) from church schools. Perhaps an additional fourth have some doubts about public education, think schools are unsafe of the fact that their children have special need that regular schools don't meet. In some cases, parents open home-school to escape compulsory education; they do least teaching while having older children care for younger sisters or brothers or work in home businesses. Although .children often learn well at home weak regulations in most states mean that officials rarely challenge or monitor parents who say they are home-schooling. With growing frequency, however, public schools offer services to the home-schools. Districts may permit them to enroll part time for instance; educators fear that otherwise these children could later return full time with serious academic weaknesses, and in any case some districts wanting to qualify for state aid can benefit from part-timers filling empty seats.

     Here in Helena, Mary Brown has taught her 12 children at home while manufacturing clothing there in her non-teaching hours. Mrs. Brown says her motive is to give more training in basics, like phonics (发音学) than public schools offer. ycy Most of her curriculum is from a church school, with tests returned by mail.

     Two years ago her seventh child, Andrea, wanting to join regular athletic programs, enrolled at Capital High School. Andrea soon changed her mind and continued home study. But she had liked gym and chorus, so Mrs. Brown said that she be allowed to continue in them while taking other courses at home.

58．We can know from the passage that       .                                                              

      A．half the parents feel doubtful about public education

     B．most parents have religious consideration

     C．some parents want to escape the compulsory education

     D．public schools should not interfere in private education

59．The important problem of home-school education is       .                                      

      A．lack of social activities                    B．lack of strict management

     C．inefficiency in study                      D．low teaching quality

60．According to Mrs. Brown, the purpose of teaching her children at home is       .       

      A．looking after them by herself            B．teaching them what they like

     C．helping her to do housework             D．teaching them more basics

 61．It can be inferred from the passage that        .                                                     

     A．no measures can be taken to regulate the home: school education

     B．most parents are not satisfied with public education

   C．it is wiser for schools to accept enrollment part time

      D．home-schools have no difference with public schools

A new computer treatment is being used to deal with obesity (肥胖) in children.

Connected to a small dining set, consisting of scales and a plate, a mini computer teaches children how to eat and reminds them when to stop.

“In very fat people, hunger signals from the stomach to the brain stop functioning. But the new computer system teaches the children how to receive these messages again,” says Dr. Julian Hamilton-Shield, the Bristol University senior lecturer leading the treatment trials.

The computer, called a Mandometer, records and stores the weight loss from the plate when children eat. As the food is leaving the plate, a curve (曲线) is produced on the computer screen suggesting whether the child is eating too quickly.

“Children with weight problems often eat too quickly. We want them to eat steadily and slowly and the system teaches them to slow down. It’s a bit like retraining, ” says Hamilton-Shield.

Obesity now represents one of the major threats to the future health of children. About one in five boys and one in four girls aged two to fifteen in England are overweight. But so far no treatments have proven effective in treating children.

The Mandometer was developed in Sweden, but at present it is experiencing further development at the University of Bristol, with ＄224,400 in funds from BUPA ― a global health and care organization. The system could be on the market in two years time. At first, it would be managed by medical clinics.

62．The text is mainly written to explain ____________.

      A．how a new computer treatment dealing with obesity works

      B．why child obesity becomes a topic of people

      C．how to lose weight with the help of computers

      D．why a computer is effective in dealing with child obesity

63．The word “functioning” in paragraph 3 probably means __________.

      A．eating              B．working          C．lasting              D．losing

64．Obesity threats the health of children, which ___________.

      A．people have not cared about

      B．is nothing compared with other diseases

      C．is very serious

      D．has led to many deaths

65．What can we learn from the text?

      A．The Mandometer will be put into market once it proves effective.

      B．The Mandometer is cheap enough for every family to afford.

      C．The Mandometer is still not perfect.

      D．Slow eating is sure to make people lose weight.

I dreamed I had an interview with God. “So you would like to interview me?” God asked. “If you have the time,” I said. “My time is eternity.” God smiled, “what questions do you have in mind for me?” “What surprises you most about humankind?” God answered, “That they get bored with childhood; they rush to grow up, and then long to be children again. That they lose their health to make money... and then lose their money to restore their health. That by thinking anxiously about the future, they forget the present, such that they live in neither the present nor the future. That they live as if they will never die, and die as though they had never lived.” God’s hand took mine and we were silent for a while. And then I asked, “As a parent, what are some of life’s lessons you want your children to learn? To learn they cannot make anyone love them. All they can do is to let themselves be loved. To learn that it is not good ycy to compare themselves to others. To learn to forgive by practicing forgiveness. To learn that it only takes a few seconds to open profound wounds in those they love, and it can take many years to heal them. To learn that a rich person is not one who has the most, but is one who needs the least. To learn that there are people who love them dearly, but simply have not yet learned how to express or show their feelings. To learn that two people can look at the same thing and see it differently. To learn that it is not enough that they forgive one another, but they must also forgive themselves.” “Thank you for your time,” I said humbly. “Is there anything else you would like your children to know?” God smiled and said; “Just know that I am here always.”

About 2 percent of American students are now taught at home. Educators are confused about how this growing practice should be regulated, and also wonder whether children who are not fully registered in school should get some public services. The issue shows how dim the line between public and private education can become, even when that private education is delivered at home.

     Probably about half the parents who teach at home are religiously motivated and use lessons by mail (or Internet) from church schools. Perhaps an additional fourth have some doubts about public education, think schools are unsafe of the fact that their children have special need that regular schools don't meet. In some cases, parents open home-school to escape compulsory education; they do least teaching while having older children care for younger sisters or brothers or work in home businesses. Although .children often learn well at home weak regulations in most states mean that officials rarely challenge or monitor parents who say they are home-schooling. With growing frequency, however, public schools offer services to the home-schools. Districts may permit them to enroll part time for instance; educators fear that otherwise these children could later return full time with serious academic weaknesses, and in any case some districts wanting to qualify for state aid can benefit from part-timers filling empty seats.

     Here in Helena, Mary Brown has taught her 12 children at home while manufacturing clothing there in her non-teaching hours. Mrs. Brown says her motive is to give more training in basics, like phonics (发音学) than public schools offer. ycy Most of her curriculum is from a church school, with tests returned by mail.

     Two years ago her seventh child, Andrea, wanting to join regular athletic programs, enrolled at Capital High School. Andrea soon changed her mind and continued home study. But she had liked gym and chorus, so Mrs. Brown said that she be allowed to continue in them while taking other courses at home.

58．We can know from the passage that       .                                                              

      A．half the parents feel doubtful about public education

     B．most parents have religious consideration

     C．some parents want to escape the compulsory education

     D．public schools should not interfere in private education

59．The important problem of home-school education is       .                                      

      A．lack of social activities                    B．lack of strict management

     C．inefficiency in study                      D．low teaching quality

60．According to Mrs. Brown, the purpose of teaching her children at home is       .       

      A．looking after them by herself            B．teaching them what they like

     C．helping her to do housework             D．teaching them more basics

 61．It can be inferred from the passage that        .                                                     

     A．no measures can be taken to regulate the home: school education

     B．most parents are not satisfied with public education

   C．it is wiser for schools to accept enrollment part time

      D．home-schools have no difference with public schools

A new computer treatment is being used to deal with obesity (肥胖) in children.

Connected to a small dining set, consisting of scales and a plate, a mini computer teaches children how to eat and reminds them when to stop.

“In very fat people, hunger signals from the stomach to the brain stop functioning. But the new computer system teaches the children how to receive these messages again,” says Dr. Julian Hamilton-Shield, the Bristol University senior lecturer leading the treatment trials.

The computer, called a Mandometer, records and stores the weight loss from the plate when children eat. As the food is leaving the plate, a curve (曲线) is produced on the computer screen suggesting whether the child is eating too quickly.

“Children with weight problems often eat too quickly. We want them to eat steadily and slowly and the system teaches them to slow down. It’s a bit like retraining, ” says Hamilton-Shield.

Obesity now represents one of the major threats to the future health of children. About one in five boys and one in four girls aged two to fifteen in England are overweight. But so far no treatments have proven effective in treating children.

The Mandometer was developed in Sweden, but at present it is experiencing further development at the University of Bristol, with ＄224,400 in funds from BUPA ― a global health and care organization. The system could be on the market in two years time. At first, it would be managed by medical clinics.

62．The text is mainly written to explain ____________.

      A．how a new computer treatment dealing with obesity works

      B．why child obesity becomes a topic of people

      C．how to lose weight with the help of computers

      D．why a computer is effective in dealing with child obesity

63．The word “functioning” in paragraph 3 probably means __________.

      A．eating              B．working          C．lasting              D．losing

64．Obesity threats the health of children, which ___________.

      A．people have not cared about

      B．is nothing compared with other diseases

      C．is very serious

      D．has led to many deaths

65．What can we learn from the text?

      A．The Mandometer will be put into market once it proves effective.

      B．The Mandometer is cheap enough for every family to afford.

      C．The Mandometer is still not perfect.

      D．Slow eating is sure to make people lose weight.

A new computer treatment is being used to deal with obesity (肥胖) in children.

Connected to a small dining set, consisting of scales and a plate, a mini computer teaches children how to eat and reminds them when to stop.

“In very fat people, hunger signals from the stomach to the brain stop functioning. But the new computer system teaches the children how to receive these messages again,” says Dr. Julian Hamilton-Shield, the Bristol University senior lecturer leading the treatment trials.

The computer, called a Mandometer, records and stores the weight loss from the plate when children eat. As the food is leaving the plate, a curve (曲线) is produced on the computer screen suggesting whether the child is eating too quickly.

“Children with weight problems often eat too quickly. We want them to eat steadily and slowly and the system teaches them to slow down. It’s a bit like retraining, ” says Hamilton-Shield.

Obesity now represents one of the major threats to the future health of children. About one in five boys and one in four girls aged two to fifteen in England are overweight. But so far no treatments have proven effective in treating children.

The Mandometer was developed in Sweden, but at present it is experiencing further development at the University of Bristol, with ＄224,400 in funds from BUPA ― a global health and care organization. The system could be on the market in two years time. At first, it would be managed by medical clinics.

62．The text is mainly written to explain ____________.

      A．how a new computer treatment dealing with obesity works

      B．why child obesity becomes a topic of people

      C．how to lose weight with the help of computers

      D．why a computer is effective in dealing with child obesity

63．The word “functioning” in paragraph 3 probably means __________.

      A．eating              B．working          C．lasting              D．losing

64．Obesity threats the health of children, which ___________.

      A．people have not cared about

      B．is nothing compared with other diseases

      C．is very serious

      D．has led to many deaths

65．What can we learn from the text?

      A．The Mandometer will be put into market once it proves effective.

      B．The Mandometer is cheap enough for every family to afford.

      C．The Mandometer is still not perfect.

      D．Slow eating is sure to make people lose weight.

A

       The crowd cheered and cheered. The man with the horn waved and smiled his great, happy smile.“More! More!”cried the crowd. And Louis Satchmo Armstrong took his horn and began to play again. Here he was in England. Now a famous man, he was rich. He knew many important people. Wherever he went, people knew his name. They wanted to hear his music. As Louis played the sad, slow songs, he thought of his home in New Orleans. He lived there as a boy. How many years ago it was? It was a busy, exciting city. But Louis’ family was very poor. He went to work to help his mother. He also went to school. CY One of Louis’ teachers asked him to be in the school band“This horn is yours until you leave our school,”his teacher said. Louis’ music was jazz and he loved it. He remembered all the music he heard. He didn’t learn to read music until he was a man.

       When he left school, he played in many bands. He loved his work and people loved him. They knew he had a wonderful talent. Louis played on the boats that sailed up and down the river. He played in little towns and in big cities. Satchmo’s horn had as many sounds as ten horns-sometimes slow and sweet; sometimes fast and hot, high and low. His music was always strong and exciting.“He does make wonderful music,”said the man who listened happily.“Yes,”said another man,“he makes that horn speak.”Then the music jazz as I can play. I thought jazz was my music, but now I understand it is ours. Isn’t it beautiful how music brings us together!”

41．What music did Armstrong play?

       A．Jazz music                                          B．Classical music   

       C．Rock music                                         D．Pop music

42．When did he learn to read music?

       Humans are social animals. They live in groups all over the world. As these groups of people live apart from other groups, over the years and centuries they develop their own habits and ideas, which form different cultures. One important particular side of every culture is how its people deal with time.

       Time is not very important in nonindustrial societies. The Nuer people of East Africa, for example, do not even have a word TIME that is in agreement with the abstract thing we call time. The daily lives of the people of such nonindustrial societies are likely to be patterned around their physical needs and natural events rather than around a time schedule（时间表）based on the clock. They cook and eat when they are hungry and sleep when the sun goes down. They plant crops during the growing seasons and harvest them when the crops are ripe. They measure time not by a clock or calendar（日历）,but by saying that an event takes place before or after some other event . Frequently such a society measures day in terms of“sleeps”of longer periods in terms of“moons”.Some cultures, such as the Eakinos of Greenland measure seasons according to the migration of certain animals.

       Some cultures which do not have a written language or keep written records have developed interesting ways of“telling time”.For example, when several Australian aborigines want to plan an event for a future time, one of them places a stone on a cliff or in a tree. Each day the angle of the sun changes slightly. In a few days, the rays of the sun strike the stone in a certain way. When this happens, the people see that the agreed-upon time has arrived and the event can take place.

       In contrast（成对比），exactly correct measurement of time is very important in modern, industrialized societies. This is because industrialized societies require the helpful efforts of many people in order to work. For a factory to work efficiently（well, quickly and without waste）,for example, all of the workers must work at the same time. YC Therefore, they must know what time to start work in the morning and what time they may go home in the afternoon. Passengers must know the exact time that an airplane will arrive or depart. Students and teachers need to know when a class starts and ends. Stores must open on time in order to serve their customers. Complicated（复杂）. societies need clocks and calendars. Thus, we can see that if each person worked according to his or her own schedule, a complicated society could hardly work at all.

46．By saying“Humans are social animals”, the author means        .

       A．they live all over the world

       B．they are different from other animals

       C．they live in one place, district or country, considered as a whole

       D．they are divided into many groups

47．Time is not very important in nonindustrial societies. This is because people in those societies

              .

       A．don’t have the word TIME in their languages

       B．don’t get used to using clocks and other timepieces

       C．don’t measure time in their daily lives

       D．don’t need to plan their daily lives around an exact time schedule

48．The Australian aborgines’ way of“telling time”is based on       .

       A．the change of the sun rays

       B．the movement of the earth in relation to the sun

       C．the position of the stone

       D．the position of the tree or the cliff

49．Which of the following might be the best title for this passage?

       A．Time and Culture                                B．The Measurement of Time

       C．Time schedule and Daily Life                D．Clock, Calendar and Society

C

       Pocket Tape-Recorders“Family and Home Magazine”test what’s on the market now.

       Pearlcorder S702 $64

       This simple model at the bottom of the Olympus range scored the most points for its excellent quality of recording. Background noise hardly affects the sound and recording from a pocket is perfectly possible, but it doesn’t turn off automatically.

       Tape length: 30 minutes per side. Weight : 240 g

       Sony M9 $49.95

       Small and very good looking, Sony’s latest offering scored most for appearance.

       Sounds clear, but there is slight machine noise. The big control buttons are a great improvement on some of the complicated little controls on other tape-recorders.

       Doesn’t switch off automatically but a red light shows if the machine is still running.

       Tape length : 60 minutes per side. Weight : 195g.

       Sony M400 $115

       Lots of little control buttons that make a noise and are difficult to use. Rcording is good but machine noise loses points. Tape counter and automatic switch-off when tape has finished recording or rewinding are useful.

       Tape length : 60 minutes per side. Weight : 230g

       Imperial OEM MC7 $29.95

       Cheap and simple compared with the rest, but recording is good as long as there is no background noise. Use only its own make of cassette. No light to show it is on; no fast forward button and the record button makes a loud noise.

       Tape length: 30 minutes per side. Weight: 285g.

       Philips 585$ 80

       Handsome and simple to use, but recording is very poor at more than the recommended distance of 5 cm designed for dictation. No recording light.

       Tape length : 15 minutes per side. Weight : 220g.

50．Which machine is unsuitable for general use?

       A．Pearlcorder S702                                 B．Sony M400

       C．Imperial OEM MC7                             D．Philips 585

51．If you want a machine which turns off automatically and weights very little, you should choose

              .

       A．Sony M9                                            B．Philips 585

       C．Sony M400                                         D．Pearlcorder S702

52．What disadvantage does the Imperial OEM MC7 only have?

       A．It picks up background noise                B．It requires a special cassette

       C．The record button makes a noise            D．No light shows when it is on

D

       It is well-known that when an individual joins a group, he tends to accept the group’s standards of behavior and thinking. Many illustrations（事例）could be given of this from everyday life, but what is of particular interest to psychologists（心理学家）is the extent to which people’s judgments and opinions can be changed as a result of group pressure, Asch and others noticed that people in a group will agree to statements that are contrary to the evidence of their senses. It would be a mistake to think that only particularly docile（听话的）people are chosen to take part in experiments of this type. Usually highly intelligent and independent people are used. In a typical experiment, this is what may happen.

       The experimenter asks for volunteers to join a group which is investigating visual perception（视觉）.The victims are not, therefore, aware of the real purpose of the experiment. Each volunteer is taken to a room where he finds a group of about seven people who are cooperating with the experimenter. The group is shown a standard card which contains a single line. They are then asked to look at a second card. This has three lines on it. One is obviously longer than the line on the first card; one is shorter and one the same length. They have to say which line on the second card is the same length as the line on the standard card. The other members of the group answer first but what the volunteer does not know is that they have been told to pick one of the wrong lines. When his turn comes, he is faced with the unanimous（全体一致的）opinion of the rest of the group-all the others have chosen line A but he quite clearly sees line B as correct. What will be do? According to Asch, more than half of the vietims chosen will change their opinion. What is equally surprising is that, when interviewed about their answers, most explained that they knew the group choice was incorrect but that they gave in to the pressure of the group because they thought they must be suffering from an optical illusion（视错觉）， or because they were afraid of being different.

53．The psychologists are particularly interested in       .

       A．the changes in the attitudes of the people

       B．the degree of changes of people’s opinions

       C．the result of the experiment

       D．the difference in people’s characters

54．People who are usually chosen to take part in the experiments are       .

       A．independent                                        B．easily guided

       C．foolish                                                D．capable of reasoning

55．Which of the following statements is true?

       A．The experimenter and all the members of the group except the victim know the purpose of the experiment.

       B．All of them know the purpose of the experiment.

       C．Only the experimenter knows the purpose of the experiment.

       D．Only the victim knows the purpose of the experiment

56．More than half of the victims changed their opinion because       .

       A．someone in the group changed their opinion

       B．they thought their eyes must be cheated

       C．they thought the group choice was correct

       D．they had been told about the answer

E

       Recently I was asked,“Are we anywhere near the day when you can climb into a car on Long Island, program it to take you to your niece’s house in Chicago, hit enter, and after the first hundred yards, once you hit a main road, the car takes over automatically and you just sit back and enjoy the ride?”

       It is a question I worry. But I had to answer truthfully：“Absolutely. We are without a doubt near that day.”Look, we’re already doing it with airplanes.

       Northrop Grumman’s Global Hawk takes off at an air base in the U.S., climbs to 50,000 feet, flies to Australia, and lands at an Australian air base, where there is a grandstand filled with military officials=with no human pilot.

       The necessary technology is already here. We have radar technology that can be tied to cruise（巡航）control and brakes, which automatically adjusts（调整）your speed based on following distance and preprogrammed settings. It’s still a little bit raw, but it does work great. The technology can allow cars and trucks to follow each other in very closely spaced roads.

       GPS can also change speed with location. Let’s say you’re in a state with a 75-mph limit and you cross into a state with a 65-mph limit. GPS knows that and adjust your speed accordingly.

       It’s not out of the question to imagine that someday soon you’ll be able to start the car, make proper settings, then turn the front seats around and play cards and eat lunch as if you’re riding on a train. All in perfect comfort and safety, all the way to that niece’s place in Chicago.

       If asked to estimate just how far time is, I’d say a working system is ten years out, practice maybe 20 years.

57．The purpose of the question asked in the first passage probably is       .

       A．to draw readers’ attention to his theory

       B．to introduce the topic to be discussed in the passage

       C．to describe the cars in the future

       D．to prove that his idea is right

58．What’s the key technology to automatic car driving?

       A．The technology of airplanes.

       B．The technology to be developed in the future.

       C．The technology of radar and GPS.

       D．The technology of satellites.

59．What does the author think of the change in car driving?

      A．It’s a terrible thing to come

       B．It’s a wonder to drive such a car

       C．It’s a pity to give up the skill of driving

       D．It is very likely to come true in the near future

60．Which of the following may be the best title for this passage?

       A．Driving is dead?                                  B．Cars in the future

       C．New technology will change cars?         D．Comfortable car driving

Then, with a silly smile on his face, the boy 37 took hold of his right leg and walked the way Amy limped（跛行）when she walked. Amy closed her eyes. “38Ignore him!” She told herself as she headed for her classroom. But at the end of the day, Amy was still thinking about the tall boy’s 39 unfriendly way. It wasn’t as if he were the only one. It seemed that ever since Amy started the third grade, someone laughed at her 40 every single day . Kids made fun of her about her 41 speaking or her limping. Amy was 42 tired of it. Sometimes, even in a classroom full of other students, the teasing(嘲笑) made her feel 43 all alone. Back home at the dinner table that evening, Amy was 44 quiet. Her mother knew that things were not going well at 45 school. That’s why she was happy to have some exciting news to 46 share with her daughter. “There is a Christmas 47 wish contest on the radio station,” Amy’s Mom announced. “48 Write a letter to Santa, and you might win a prize. I think 49 someone at the table with blonde（白肤金发的） curly hair should enter.” A 50 smile took hold of Amy when the idea first came to her. Out came pencil and paper, and Amy went to work on her letter. “Dear Santa Claus,” she began. While Amy worked at her letter, the rest of the family tried to 51 guess what she might ask from Santa. Amy’s sister, Jamie, and Amy’s Mom both thought a three―foot Barbie doll would 52 top Amy’s wish list. Amy’s Dad guessed a picture book. But Amy wasn’t 53 ready to tell her secret Christmas wish just then. Here is Amy’s letter to Santa, just 54 as she wrote it that night: Dear Santa Claus, My name is Amy. I am nine years old. I have a problem at school. Can you help me, Santa? Kids laugh at me because of the way I walk and run and talk. I have cerebral palsy（脑瘫）. I just want one 55 day when no one laughs at me or makes fun of me.      36. A.

Many scholars would argue that both these activities play a critical role in serving society. The basic question, however, is: How does society want or need to be served?（56） In recent years, universities have been coming under increasing pressure from both governments and the public to ensure that they do not remain “ivory towers” of study separated from the realities of everyday life.（57） University teachers have been encouraged, and in some cases forced to provide more courses which provide graduates with the technical skills which are commercially useful. If Aristotle wanted to work in a university in the UK today, he would have a good chance of teaching computer science but would not be so readily employable as a philosopher.（58） A post-industrial society requires large number of computer programmers, engineers, managers and technicians to keep and develop its economic growth but “man”, as the Bible says, “does not live by bread alone.” Besides requiring medical and social services which do not directly be given to economic growth, the society should also value and enjoy literature, music and art.（59） In these cost-sensible times, it has even been pointed out in being reasonable for the funding of the arts that they can be useful money earners. A successful musical, for example, can contribute as much to the Gross National Product through tourist dollars as any other things. 56. Some people believe that traditional education _____. A. somewhat fails to meet the social needs     B. serves the society very well C. stresses teaching too much               D. stresses research too much 57. We can infer from the passage that _____. A. the governments hold back the college education B. the society is not satisfied with the present college education C. teachers are always forced to do what they don’t like to do D. teachers dislike teaching commercially useful courses 58. The Aristotle example is used to make the point that _____. A. universities in the UK have produced too many good-for-nothing graduates B. philosophy is no longer useful as it is difficult to understand C. it is advisable（明智的）for today’s philosophers to know computer science D. education should serve the social needs 59. The author believes that _____. A. the increase of economy is the only aim of today’s society B. art is useful only when it is made into a money earner C. universities should not provide literature or art courses D. both technical skills and the arts meet the society’s needs   B     When a cat is frightened, its heart starts beating faster, its muscles get tense, and there are changes in the chemicals in its blood-stream. If the danger continues, it will defend itself, or it will run away as fast as possible.     Something like this also happens to people. When we are excited, angry, scared or aroused（冲动） by others’ emotions, our bodies go through many physical changes, all of which make us more alert and ready to react. We, too, get ready to defend ourselves or run. Human beings, however, have a problem that animals never face.（60） If we give way to our feelings and let them take over, we can get into trouble. Have you ever said something in anger ― or hit somebody ― and regretted it later? Have you ever shouted at a teacher, told somebody you were lonely, or said you were in love, and then wished later you had kept your mouth shut? It isn’t always wise to express your feelings freely. Does this mean that it’s smarter always to hide our feelings? No! If you keep your feelings of anger, sadness, and bitterness hidden away or bottled up（掩饰） inside, your body stays tense. Physical illnesses can develop, and you can feel disturbed badly inside. It can actually be bad for your health.     You can try to treat emotions as if they were bananas in the cupboard. You can hide them and you can pretend they don’t exist,（62） but they’ll still be around. And at last you’ll have to deal with them, just like those bananas. 60. By taking cat as an example, the author wants to show us that _____. A. animals can’t control their feelings B. people can’t control their feelings C. people’s physical reactions (*physical changes*)are like those of animals in a way   *physical reactions are different, because people know how to control or hide themselves.* D. people’s bodies go through many physical changes in certain situations, too 61. It’s mentioned in the text that human beings get into trouble because _____. A. we are not as alert as animals B. we sometimes can’t control our feelings C. we always do something wrong to other people *not mentioned* D. we don’t pay attention to our physical changes *not mentioned* 62. The author wants to tell us in the last two paragraphs that_____. A. there’s no way to deal with our feelings B. we should put some bananas in a cupboard when we’re angry or scared × C. feelings will gradually disappear when we hold them in D. we should neither express our feelings freely nor hide the bad feelings inside 63. The author’s purpose in writing this article is to _____. A. tell us that it’s pretty good to keep our feelings inside B. give some advice on how to express our feelings freely C. make us deal with our feelings in a wise way D. make us know it isn’t always good to express our feelings freely   C     WHO would have thought a man who lived in the Stone Age would be dressed in clothes made in China? A thousand-year-old mummy, nicknamed Otzi the Iceman was wearing a Chinese jacket, latest research has found. But where and how he got the jacket has become a topic of great debate.     Otzi is the nickname of a well-preserved （保存完好的）mummy from about 3300 BC. He was found in 1991 in the Otztal Valley in the Alps, near the border between Austria and Italy. Two German tourists, Helmut and Erika Simon (66B)found him when they were climbing.     Otzi was thought to be the body of a soldier who fought during WWI but was found to be thousands of years older. Analyzing Otzi showed that the items with him were all of different ages. His arrows are 7000 years old, the axe(斧头) belonged to a time hundreds of years later and the skin in which the man was dressed originally belonged to a goat that lived in China(66A). Otzi’s tattoo(纹身) shows that he might have been a wizard(男巫)*witch女巫*, according to Prauda, the official newspaper in Russia.     There are still many mysteries surrounding otzi, yet the most famous and frightening one is his curse. It is said that Otzi had mystic（神秘的） powers（66D） and those who trouble his dead body will be doomed to die(64). Otzi has claimed（夺走生命） seven people so far. With the death of several people who have touched the remains of the ancient man, the “Otzi curse（咒语）” mystery has snowballed. 64. In this passage, the writer suggests that _____. A. we should not go to the Alps because many people died there  *not mentioned* B. many people that have studied Otzi have died C. Otzi is an Egyptian mummy, found in the Alps D. Otzi is Chinese, because of the clothing he was wearing 65. The underlined word “snowballed” in the last sentence means that _____. A. people pay their respect to the dead by throwing snowballs B. people who have touched Otzi’s body have often died shortly after being hit with snowballs C. the mystery around the curse gets larger and larger, like a snowball rolling down a hill D. Otzi was found buried with many snowballs that scientists agree may have been used as weapons in the time when Otzi was alive 66. In the passage, which of the following statements is not mentioned? A. Otzi was wearing a jacket, made of the skin of a goat that lived in China. B. Helmut and Erika Simon discovered Otzi in the Alps in 1991. C. Helmut was the seventh victim of Otzi’s curse. D. Otzi is said to have mystic powers. 67. What is the best title of the passage? A. The Curse of the Iceman       B. A Great Discovery C. A Well-preserved Mummy      D. A Man Who Lived in the Stone Age   D Americans are proud of their variety and individuality (个性), yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform,(68) whether it is the uniform of a lift operator or the uniform of a five-star general. Why are uniforms so popular in the United States? Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look more professional than civilian (百姓的) clothes. People have become conditioned to expect higher quality from a man who wears a uniform.(69) The television repairman who wears a uniform is likely to inspire more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes. Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic（修理工） is increased by a uniform. What easier way is there for a nurse, a policeman, a hairdresser, or a waiter to lose professional identity (职业身份) than to step out of uniform? Uniforms also have many practical good points. They are often more comfortable and more lasting than civilian clothes. Primary*要点* among the arguments against uniforms is their lack of variety and the loss of individuality （70）experienced by people who must wear them. Though there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it, without change, until retirement. When people look alike, they are likely to think, speak, and act similarly on the job at least. Uniforms also give rise to*导致；引起* some practical problems. Though they are long-lasting, often their initial（最初的） expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes. Some uniforms are also expensive to maintain, requiring professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering（洗涤） possible with many types of civilian clothes. 68. What surprises us is that Americans _______. A. still judge a man by his clothes B. think highly of uniforms C. less prefer wearing civilian clothes D. respect a lift operator in uniform 69. People are likely to think that a man in uniform ________. A. suggests quality work B. shows his social position C. appears to be more practical D. looks more fresh and attractive 70. Those who are against uniforms believe that people wearing uniforms ______. A. are usually helpful      B. have little freedom C. lose personal character   D. enjoy greater popularity 71. It can be concluded from the passage that ________.
